For Joseph Losey's great film "The Go-Between" (starring Julie Christie and Alan Bates), Michel Legrand provided a Theme and Variations for Two Pianos and Orchestra to be played as accompaniment to some of its scenes.

Song aus dem album Oceans Apart What would you do if you turned around And saw me beside you Not in a dream but in a song? Would you float like a phantom Or would you sing along? Don't know where I'm going Don't know where it's flowing But I know it's finding you What would you do If you saw me driving by in a car The quickest you've ever seen me spin? Would you smile and wave Or would you bow and get in? Don't know where I'm going Don't know where it's flowing But I know it's finding you But then the lightning finds us Burns away our kindness We can't find a place to hide Come the rainy season Surrender to our treasons Can we even find our tears? Don't know where I'm going Don't know where it's flowing But I know it's finding you. + Informações

Grant McClennan died on Saturday 6th at his home aged 48. A love is lost. The beautiful songs remain though, go and search them out. Grant, RIP. An early promo I made for the Go Betweens, who had, up to that point, something of a reputation for "seriousness". This video is a series of jokes, mostly daft, based on the lyric....line by line. I think it showed them to have a real sense of fun, and to be really likeable. The budget was pretty small, so it was necessary to be inventive with low tech effects. Some nice B&W stuff shot on a Beaulieu 4008 Super8, which, as you'll see, had a hair in the gate.. + Informações

A trader in furs living in exile Boy what a kook Look at that passport Stale bread and paper without privilege If you live here learn the language When the rain hit the roof With the sound of a finished kiss Like when a lip lifts from a lip I took the Wrong Road round A room in a lighthouse Near the park The ghosts in the next room hear you cough Time drags on Sundays spent in Mayfair With all your riches, why aren't you there? The wind acts like a magnet And pulls the leaf from the tree And the town's lost it's breath I took the Wrong Road round Handsome is good, pretty is better What was that phrase Grace under pressure? Blind by the light bulb Blood to the bank Lost all yours letters when the ship sank In the disjointed breaking light The soft blue approach of the water Makes a sound you won't forget I took the Wrong Road round Stranded at low-tide where the river bends Wouldn't you know it, that's how life ends Lucky at cards, that's an old lie Lucky in love, that's how life ends Well the turncoats turned around When they heard the sound of the bell Dropped their coins into the well I took the Wrong Road round Started out Oliver, ended up Fagin Don't you worry, it's my problem What's my name, what's my number? I'm the lonely one It's just at the end of the day When the light makes it's slow move away That I know all I can say is I took the Wrong Road round Gambled with risk Paid you back with risk So now you know who your friends are They'll steel your shadow when .... + Informações

"Here Comes The City" The Go-Betweens are the quintessential cult band. Sired by the new wave explosion of the late '70s, The Go-Betweens have spent the last 25 years crafting the sort of lovely, eloquent music "Lou Reed could have written if he had fallen for Brian Wilson, not David Bowie." (The Guardian) Says Rolling Stone, "Quite frankly, there is no group of this generation writing and recording music of this class and quality." And according to NME, "The Go-Betweens write songs that are touching but deadpan, nostalgic but not traditional, each weaving something almost accidentally great. Classic songwriting.". + Informações

Classic indie song from 1978 that still sounds great today. + Informações

A widow's life is no life at all Look said the ghost, there in the hall Her big brown eyes And northern beer Pulled her through her living years Won't you wear the Won't you wear the Won't you wear the The gravedigger's work is almost done A hole in the ground spits dirt at the sun The water-tank is dirty and dry Dust from the creek covers the sky Won't you wear the Won't you wear the Won't you wear the Five years without a sound The railroad's melted down Ten years further on A husband in the ground Won't you wear the Won't you wear the Won't you wear the Black Hat. + Informações
